Woman's Work

Have you ever asked yourself the question: Are there really things that women should stay out of---you know, things that only men should do? Well, I found myself face to face with that question tonight! And let me tell you folks! I defeated fate!!!!! I mean I glared it right in the face and accomplished the task! Women can do anything they put their minds too. Of that fact I am sure. I am not convinced that we always should! But that is not the question! Should and Could are two different words. I preferred the could end of things this evening.

You see, 12 of my favorite CDs were stuck in my Car CD Changer. I needed them, since I will be starting my home studio shortly! My dad and I had determined that the changer was probably shot anyway since it had decided to die on me literally a couple weeks ago.

So tonight I decided to tackle the feat of getting to my CDs. First one screw, then another, then another, and another, and another. And kaboom! it just escalated!!!!! I pried and pulled, figured out I had forgotten a couple more screws. Parts flew here and there. Pieces broke off. Nails (as in fingernails, ladies). Yes they all broke! And I scraped up my fingers!

But finally, my CD segment popped out! I had accomplished my feat. As I looked back over the changer, a bit of remorse for the poor thing hit me. Then I remembered that it was dead already. So I dumped it all into itself, and came inside.

Have no fear, the CDs are safe and in their cases. The changer: well, if one could die a little more! It did!

So, should women tackle electronics and such. Well, they CAN! If they want to!!!

You decide: do you WANT to?

And yes, I did come in promptly and file my fingernails!!!
